Every once in a while, a home comes along that hits the rare balance between retreat and practicality, where the setting feels far away yet everything you need is just around the corner. This privately sited Cape in historic Saugerties sits on a full acre of land and stands apart for its value, versatility, and feel-good flow. Inside, the spaces unfold naturally, starting with a bright, generous kitchen featuring solid wood cabinetry and hardwood floors that bring warmth throughout. The main living area centers around a wood-burning stove, the perfect spot to gather after a long day exploring the Hudson Valley, while windows on every wall frame views of the surrounding trees and open sky. The first-floor primary suite is both comfortable and convenient, complete with a connected bath and easy single-level living that today's buyers are looking for. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, one currently used as an open loft-style play space, sit under airy ceilings and share a second full bath. Down below, a finished basement offers endless possibilities for guests, a creative studio, home office, or rec room. It's the kind of flex space that makes this home work beautifully as both a full-time residence and a weekend escape. Step outside and you'll see why the property feels so special. Set well back from the road, it offers uncommon privacy with no close neighbors in sight. There's plenty of level ground for gardening, lawn games, or simply relaxing under the stars. The deck and patio areas extend your living space outdoors, ideal for quiet mornings with coffee or evenings gathered around a fire with friends. And when you're ready to head out, everything that makes Saugerties such a beloved destination is just minutes away. The boutiques and cafés of the village, the waterfront, and HITS horse shows are nearby, with uptown Kingston only 10 minutes and Woodstock 15. Local farms, trail systems, swimming holes, and mountain hikes are all within easy reach, offering endless ways to enjoy the region's outdoor lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a smart full-time purchase or the perfect Hudson Valley getaway, this home delivers a combination of space, privacy, and location that's hard to match, especially at this price. It's that rare find that makes sense on paper but feels even better in person. * * * SHOWINGS TO BEGIN FRIDAY 10/10 AFTER 12 NOON * * *
